I'm not sure if they are MV lights but they look like them.What ever hockey arena's use these days.<vbg>
Thanks for the samples Wendy. My main plan is for the B&W,her Mom likes my B&W.:-) I think i'll put a shorter lens on the D1 and use digital for any presentations or candids,if i can get back stage.They have it all changed around and even have security this year.<g> I'll check the schedule for the dogs.My friend shows early so i';ll be there around 7am.

Last time I was shooting in an arena (see above) I was only getting 1/350 at 2.8 so it would appear that it's pretty bright in the Palace. Won't harm to try both if you're able but my first choice would be the B&W. > > While you're there, pop over and take a look at the agility.
